damon Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 375mm ch-stay, 18:16 and no possibility to link chain without itSame situation was on 385mm ch-stay in previous frameI think, that with 18:15 there wont be any problembtw: have u heard that half link is for people who want to know which part will crack first?

Phatmike Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Running 18:16 at the moment. You'd need either ~389mm stays, or ~377mm stays for it to work. A little longer if it's not a brand new chain (mine is...)Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgun_Donor Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Im running a holroyd on a 18:16, but compared to these Deng models the rear drop outs are much bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ra964 Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 i know the chainstays on those deng sh:- are designed for only 18-15 so i was curious if you can use 18-16 because i kinda hate 18-15 even if i go for bigger upps i can`t gap can`t sidehop can`t transfer etc etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 i hear that tunni uses 18:16?so i think it could be done.......specially as it has horizontal dropouts? and you could just have a longer chain and make use of the snail cams?
